Air Plenum (A9X7-F2B-Air) - Cisco ASR 907 Hardware Installation Manual

Cisco ASR 907 Router Overview

Air Plenum (A9X7-F2B-AIR)

Air Plenum or air baffle assembly is used to change the air flow pattern of the unit. When the router is installed
with the plenum, the air flow pattern is changed from side-side to front-back. The air flow front-back pattern
provides a rack installation bay with a cool front zone and hot rear zone. For installing the plenum, see
the Chassis in the Air
When the air plenum and the fan filter are installed in the chassis, the system operating temperature is 55º

RSP Modules
The Cisco ASR 907 Router is designed to use up to two RSP modules to handle the data plane, network timing,
and control plane functionalities for the router. The RSP configuration allows you to use Cisco IOS software
to control chassis management, redundancy, external management, and system status indications on the router.
RSP features include:
• Loading software onto processor-based interface modules
• Redundant RSP management—The RSP manages detection of RSPs, exchange of health and status
• Packet processing
• Traffic management, including buffering, queuing, and scheduling, Ethernet MAC functions
• Network clocking functions including phase and time-of-day for BITS, 1 PPS, 10 MHz, and 1588 PTP
• Storage of software images, system configuration, SysLog
• PTP packet processing including IEEE 1588-2008 for recovering network timing (frequency, phase,
• External management interfaces (RS232 console, management ENET, USB console, USB storage) and
Supported RSPs
Effective Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.16, the Cisco ASR 907 Router supports the following RSP:
• A900-RSP3C-400-W—Provides 8 GB of SDRAM, 20 Mb of TCAM memory on every ASIC.
The RSP does not provide external network interfaces for user traffic. All network interfaces are provided
through separate IMs.
